Describe how Organization-Wide Defaults (OWDs) influence security.

Organization-wide default settings determine the default record-level permissions granted to all users for all records within each object. For example, setting the Account object to “Public Read/Write” will ensure that all users have “Read/Write” record-level permissions to all account records.

  • Private: No record access granted
  • Public Read Only: Read only record access granted
  • Public Read/Write: Read/Write record access granted
  • Public Read/Write/Transfer (Only: Cases, Leads): Read/Write plus transfer (ability to change the record owner) permissions granted
  • Controlled by Parents (Only: Contacts, Activities): Parent record controls access
  • Public Full Access (Only: Campaigns): Read/Write/Delete access granted
